Charles Barkley is one of those people who, to be honest, is a tough nut to crack sometimes.
He changes sides on things so much that it could make your head spin. I mean, one day he is talking up Republican points and you’re sitting there thinking “Yeah, this guy’s got his head on straight” and the next he’s pushing some weird aspect of the liberal agenda.
It’s like seeing someone that you know is a complete and total lunatic but one or two times out of the month they say something that makes you think that the whole lunatic thing is an act to see how people respond.
Now, I am not going to be one of those people who see my disdain for Charles Barkley politically and say that it has anything to do with the ability he had in the NBA.
In the interest of full disclosure, when he did that whole “I’m not your kid’s role model” thing when he was playing I thought it was great.
Pro athletes should not exactly be role models. He’s not an athlete anymore, but I highly doubt that Charles Barkley should qualify as a role model even now.
Frankly, he should qualify as being arrested for threatening a large group of people.
During an episode of his awful show on CNN this week, Charles Barkley said during a discussion about President Trump that he was going to start going around and begin punching every black Trump supporter that he saw.
This is beyond infuriating. He’s obviously siding with liberals when it comes to President Trump, which calls into question his views on other political issues where he aligned with the GOP.
He’s also siding with liberals when it comes to any potential engagement with Trump supporters.

They keep trying to say that they are the party of tolerance, that they are the ones that just want to attempt to get along with everyone.
When in reality, every single time that they are met with a situation they don’t agree with they either want to burn it down or punch it in the face.
I actually thought that Charles Barkley was a relatively level headed guy. As it turns out, he’s just as blockheaded as every other liberal whose backside he kisses.
